I thought it was ironic that Pedrosa now has to deal with Haydn's wrath after he was so ungracious towards Stoner yesterday in the qualifying. I hope Haydn isn't too hard on him. Anyone can make a mistake, albeit a huge, stupid, costly one. That's racing, isn't it? They talk about there being no team orders. I think it's great that all the racers are out for themselves at the end of the day.

I was gob-smacked at Elias. That man's a complete nutter. I loved the way Rossi and Kenny Roberts Jr were shown talking about it afterwards - looked liked they couldn't believe the way Tony was riding. I wonder whose shopping list Elias will be on now.

Can't wait for Valencia

what a great race, it was good for Rossi that the Hondas self destructed so that he cant be accused of schumacher type antics ! Why were the Ducs so far off the pace ? Has Sete broken his collar bone again ? how many more times before the guy is irrepairable

Rossi will be wanted dead or alive by Honda. Will someone be on a suicide mission, for a hefty end of year bonus?

Bridgstone tyre issues.Randy Mamola spoke to the tyre techies and they admitted they would be lucky if they lasted the race.All those big right handers were rippin' em to shreds.He also mentioned that Michelin had come up with a triple compound tyre to combat wear.

Must watch the replay again but it looked to me like Pedrosa went up on the INSIDE curb or perhaps he'd lost it already (the bike, not the plot).

Superb rides from both Elias and Kenny Jr.

Flights to Valencia anyone

The end of season races seem the best ones of the year. This one was brilliant, as was the last WSBK meeting.
What am I going to do after Valencia?

I have to admit, it was nail biteing stuff, even her indoors who does not normaly watch, sat there gobsmacked at the way Elias was making his moves.
Felt sorry for Hayden, but i guess thats what its all about, still dont think Pedrosa had a cat in hells chance of making that move stick without binning it

Ah well what do i know(armchair racer)

Wow, what a race, I really can't see that being beaten, but I hope I'm wrong.

Pedrobots not been programmed correctly by HRC, got on the curb and lost the front.

Elias was unbelievable coming from miles back, sliding all over the curbs, overtaking where it appeared impossible. Nice to see Edwards up front.

The stuff about Imor was interesting in the pre race beeb build up.

Ray.
